cant see cas beating st.s and after hull kr lost to wigan today they have nothing left to play for as they cant take other huddersfield, so will hull kr choice to play a full side to build some momentum for the play-offs or will they rest all there stars, if they do then crus could nick the 8th spot

I don't think any team wants to go into the play-offs on the back of a defeat, so I reckon next weeks games will go with form and that means Cas will hold on to 8th spot. I don't think they'll get very far, though. But, good luck to them.

I think Cru have done brill this season after all the upheaval, and I do think the decisions have been against them recently, but still they have a lot to be proud of, and have a good season under their belt, from which I am sure they will improve...oh and they have my fav 70's throwback Sammut

Whereas Cas, I prefer as I have friends there, and I hope although they won't get much further, that it offers a little protection from any axe hanging over them

Whilst I do not suffer fools gladly, I will always gladly make fools suffer

This weekend has seen the end of Wakefield as we have known it. They were well beaten by the lowly Bradford, and are almost certain to finish up in 11th spot, unless they can beat Salford at the Willows, in which case they might end up 10th. Either way their poor on field performance, when taken together with their years of unfulfilled promises of a new stadium, should ensure the axe falls on their collective neck in 2011. Relegation to the Championship would seem obligatory. The blustering Sir Rodney Dangerfield Walker will huff and puff, but the purported influence on rugby league of this pompous man is by now all imaginary.

Castleford are walking a thin line. Should they make the top 8 they will still be in the 50-50 category of clubs being considered for a SL license next year. But if they miss out on 8th place, and are overtaken by expansion club Crusaders, their fate looks less secure. Lack of a new stadium alone should be enough to win them the axe. But a failure to qualify in the top 8 when a new club Crusaders do qualify, will make relegation more likely.

A lot of Yorkshiremen believe that when God created the world, he made it with perfect balance.
He balanced the hot areas with the cold areas. the dry areas with the wet areas.
And, in creating Yorkshire, he created the most glorious place on earth - full of majestic beauty and sporting giants.........and for balance he created....... Lancashire.
